Traditionally on the /r/ModelNZPressGallery subreddit, campaigning has been, if not prohibited, at least frowned upon, and any content posted on this subreddit during the campaigning period hasn't counted towards the results of the election. Some recent posts have created some confusion as to the extent of the rules, and what exactly is allowed, so that's why I'm making these posts to establish the guidelines I'll be following as CEO for what's permitted on this subreddit.

Firstly, posts on here during the campaign period will continue to be not counted to the results of the election. It'll still be counted, but it won't be marked until the beginning of the next term.

Secondly, "campaigning" content (content designed explicitly to promote a candidate for an election, although the line here can sometimes be blurry and difficult to define) on this subreddit is not prohibited, and won't be negatively marked down or penalised by the Electoral Commission. However, the main purpose of this subreddit is for press content -- i:e, journalism, news articles, opinion pieces, partisan press releases, interviews, etc. These can be non-biased, they can be shriekingly partisan, but the main purpose is for press, and there are canon "broadcasters" built into the calculator for this purpose. I'd encourage people to post press content on this subreddit, but doing otherwise is not banned nor penalised.

Finally, lots of posts all at once will generally not be as effective in comparison to them being spread out, simply because there's only so many mods you can get in a week. This applies regardless of the post's quality, or whether it's campaigning or press content.
